Is there any other way to make a season faster? On holiday atm for a month, but goes so slowly .

 

[MarcLister]

Go on holiday when there is a break of a few days in the game?

 

[syke]

Guess it doesnt help i have loads of leagues selected but wish it'd go faster . Blue Square South has 42 games, cba with that!

 

[Andybtsn]

Guys.

I have emails from the following three people:

Davey Dave
Justin
Chris

Sorry you last two, I don't know your forum name so had to quote your real names, so you three will be getting invites as and when SI release them to me.

I have one spare that it reserved for Andybtsn who requested one above, but I am awaiting an email from him, or confirmation of if he definitely still wants it.

Hey buddy, I'll chuck you an email now Thanks

 

[Andybtsn]

Well me and my friends attemps at playing this on the net has failed

"Unable to connect to server" always appears. Looks like its blocking incoming IP's and I don't know how to fix it.

 

[Twinblade]

Evening guys.

Unfortunately due to unforeseen errors at SI with their invite procedure (something to do with Sega apparently) they are splitting the invites into 2 sections.

Those in the first 6 GW will get theres tonight those in the 2nd 6 GW have to wait till the middle of next week. As I am GW 10 my invites to you guys will go out during the week.

Sorry all

Lol @ this Premiership table (first season);

Also, played about 5 games myself, rest of it was on holiday;

a lot of signings this close season.
The board gave me 120m/2.1m if i selected 'Win the league'.

Ins:
GK: Mirante - £5m
DR: Di Silvestri - £32m
DC: Barzagli - £15m
MC: Veloso - £20m
MC: Cigarini - Free
AMC: Foggia - £15m

Outs/reserved/loaned:
GK: Abbiati
DR: Oddo
DC: Bonera
MC: Gatusso
MC: Ambrosini
ST: Borriello.

First team squad:
GK: Llorais / Mirante
DL: De Ceglie / Rubin
DC: Nesta / Sakho
DC: Barzagli / Marzoratti
DR: Zambrotta / Di Silvestri
MC: Flamini / Dessena
MC: Veloso / Cigarini
AMC: Kaka / VDV
AMC: Montolivo / Pirlo
AMC: Rosina / Foggia
ST: Pato / Quagliarella

Its still late July, and im aiming for another world class DC to replace Marzoratti.
Not as many Italians as last season, but still, 15/22 is still quite good i think.

 

[Noto]

if theres a spare invite i wouldnt mind it thanks

i can hope hehe

 

[jojothemonkey69]

Hey if there's a spare beta pass i'd jump on the chance. I've been craving that game for so long. Email is in trust

E-cookie for any lovely, kind and kind soul who gives me a pass

Lovely team sir! I'd not have the patience to build a team like that.

Didnt take long to do suprisingly. .
Begginning of season 3. Ive found it very easy to get players compared to other games ive played?

My target for Nestas replacement is Zapata. He should cost me about £20m.

 

[MarcLister]

Meh. Three seasons is three seasons too long.

I suppose with AC Milan you do have a very good squad to start with. Kaka and Pato for example.

 

[Winnter]

Sorry for a stupid question!
But is this game worth £10?

 

[MarcLister]

Sorry for a stupid question!

Such a stupid question I won't answer.

YES! Course you could wait until late October when FM09 will be out. In other words YES if you've not played it or NO if you want to wait for FM09.

 

[BoomAM]

I suppose with AC Milan you do have a very good squad to start with....

They're the hardest of the 'big teams' to start off with imo.
Small transfer budget for what needs doing, and in need of almost the entire team bar a few players.
And the ones that are worth keeping, bar 3, are all too old to use for more than a season or two.

 

[BoomAM]

Even at full price its worth it imo.
In 07 i got 3 weeks continous play time out of my big save game.

And this one i was upto 2 week play time on my other save, and this one ive just started, 3 days.

I suppose in a way that is actually an advantage as you know you need to replace nearly the whole team so you have a focus from the beginning whereas with the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Barcelona etc there isn't that problem of the entire team needing to be changed so you tend to look for players to improve the team where you can rather than need to change the whole team.

 

[syke]

Defo.

Could get it cheaper second hand if you tried!

I still play it, although granted my first season i just set it to holiday.. still came first though!

Gotta love starting from lowest league possible, 42 league games, then 46 till Championship iirc, gonna be a lot of games! Wonder who will last the whole time to Premiership .

 

[Noto]
